It was not too long ago when the Internet was seen as a new and uncertain phenomenon. Amid the doubt, our founder Paul Lyon took a bold risk and started RipeConcepts with four designers and zero customers in 2009. Fast-forward to the present: RipeConcepts is a creative powerhouse with 650+ digital geeks celebrating the company’s 15th anniversary.
Held on the 14th of February 2024, a simple gathering at the Cebu hive highlighted courage and creativity, with heartwarming messages from the leaders of RipeConcepts.
We were honored by the presence of fellow Nagarrians Vaibhav and Shruti, who flew in from the mothership to experience our culture firsthand. Members of our talented RipeCrew quickly executed special new murals to mark the occasion, adding even more color to an already vibrant facility. Visitors also enjoyed browsing and buying art and crafts from the participants of Craftopia, our yearly makers’ market.
Kinse Art Exhibit
Undoubtedly, the highlight of the event was the unveiling of a new exhibit that showcased the work of our very own artists. They had the opportunity to explore different forms of expression from their usual assignments at work. 3D artists flexed their versatility and submitted traditional paintings. Digital artists experimented with mixed media. The exhibit featured a variety of styles and themes, from realistic portraits to abstract landscapes, revealing the rich diversity of talent at RipeConcepts.
